It’s important to stay hydrated, especially during hot weather. We encourage you to use refillable water bottles. This helps reduce the amount of single-use plastic on campus and can save you money in the long run.
UCL is committed to making free drinking water accessible for students and staff. A number of our libraries have water fountains either within the space itself or just by the entrance. These will be signposted in the buildings. You can also ask library staff for directions for the nearest water fountain.
